I have a 96 Montero LS that I just had the water pump and timing belt
replaced.....I now have virtually no power, and a helluva spark knock
(not correctly timed).....the mechanics tore it back down and said
that all the timing marks were correctly aligned.....now, my question
is: with the timing marks aligned, how does one set the timing to 5
degrees BTC as it states on the tag underneath the hood? Is it with
the Crank Angle Sensor???? This car has a coil pack and not a
distributor, and I think the whole problem may lie with the assumption
that the mechanics accidentally moved the sensor when replacing the
belt....any help is greatly appreciated!!!!!
Thanks much!.....Ken

Sounds like it is not tied correctly. I'd have the "mechanics" re-check
their timing, or better yet, check it myself.
Good luck!
